Depression, suicide, relapse and the Third Step are the topics for God Box Mike and dougananda for their March 21, 2015 Blogtalk Radio broadcast. Depression, cross-addictions and suicides are the ugly ugly side of recovery. Depression hammers alcoholics and addicts who slip back into their addictions and even some who despair despite being in recovery. Suicide often looks like a way out.It is hard to "turn it over" to a higher power when you've been living for years in the negativity of addiction. Let's face it, being clean and sober requires a mammoth effort to find a transformation that will bring about serenity in the face of all the problems stacked up against recovering people.

Suicide is a hot topic these days. National Public Radio reports that suicide was the third largest cause of death for people between the ages of 10 and 19. Anyone with time in recovery has known at least a few people who took their own lives, either before or after a relapse. Mike and dougananda have known a few. They as for only one thing: Please don't do it.

Awake 2 Oneness Radio with Guest Author Rev. Anne Puryear, co- founder of The Logos Center with her husband Herb, Friday March 27th, 2015 at 7:00 pm EST. The 3rd show is the series "Suicide from a Perspective".

Anne is the author of the book "Stephen Lives!". This is the book she wrote after her 15 year old son committed suicide. I was listening to the audio book of Conversations with God book 3 and heard Neale Donald Walsch mention this book when he was talking about suicide. I contacted Anne and I am so honored to have her as a guest on my show.

Anne and her husband Herb are the founders of The Logos Center in Scottsdale, AZ, and she is the author of Messages from God.

The name, Logos, is taken from the book of John, where the Greek word "Logos" is translated as "The Word," which is understood to refer to the COSMIC CHRIST. Their practical Christian mysticism is based upon the respect and enjoyment of the world's rich spiritual traditions which all bear witness that God is the One Force at work in the universe. "Every human being has been made in His "image" and we are destined to conform to His "image" as we Awaken to our oneness with Him".

In this installment, i will be talking about a subject that sometimes gets left out of the conversation when talking about suicide. We will examine the effects of a diabetes diagnosis on the individual and how depression can quickly turn to suicide for diabetics. Please tune in to the show and participate. I look forward to you joining me.

Also, since social media is our main method of communication these days, we will intoduce Facebook's new product that will roll out over the next few months to get help for a friend or loved one who created a post that made you concerned about their health. http://svn.tn/60110ak1

Robert Schwartz is the author of two amazing books that were "Lifesavers" for me, Your Soul's Plan and Your Soul's Gift. I am so honored to have Robert as my first guest on "Awake 2 Oneness Radio" live on Friday, March 13, 2015 at 7:00 pm EST. The first series of shows will be on the topic of Suicide from a Spiritual Perspective.

Robert had been searching for the deeper meaning of life and in 2003 his search took a new and surprising turn when he decided to consult with a medium. Although he had a strong belief in God, he had never, to his knowledge, directly had a spiritual/metaphysical experience. This was the beginning of a journey that lead him on his path to write Your Soul's Plan and Your Soul's Gift.

He worked closely with several mediums and channels and explored the pre-birth plans of many, many people. He has learned that the events in their lives are neither random nor arbitrary, but rather part of a wisely conceived and intricate plan—a plan they themselves bravely designed. In Your Soul's Plan and Your Soul’s Gift he offers the life stories and pre-birth plans of twenty-two courageous souls. These stories speak to our heartfelt, universal yearning to know . . . Why?
